The emotive issue features prominently whenever the bilateral relations between India and Bangladesh are discussed.
"The signing of the Land Boundary Agreement was a historic step. We hope that through discussions, we (both the countries) will also work out the Teesta treaty. Everything can be solved through discussions," Quader told reporters here.
The Teesta river originates in Sikkim, flows through the northern parts of West Bengal, before entering Bangladesh and joining the Brahmaputra river.
India and Bangladesh were set to ink a deal on Teesta water sharing during the then prime minister Manmohan Singh's Dhaka visit in 2011, but West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had declined to endorse it, citing scarcity of water in her state.
